Wii, Macos and silicone mac

Why did it become so complicated to connect a Wiimote to max ?

  1. Bluetooth mac system settings can see it (Nintendo RVL-CNT-O1) but does not connect . Seems to be a known issue with recent updates of mac os !!!

  2. the dolphin bar mayflash does not really help (maybe ok for video game playing on mac but not for the pupose of just sending gyro/accelero datas to Max)

Does anyone tried and get happy with some solution ?

thanks fo reading

Connecting a Wiimote has been a constant hassle for me. I ended up building a custom device using a raspberry pi and a custom python program to connect the wiimote. In my specific use case I send MIDI data from there to Max. Though it could be OSC, serial, whatever protocol serves the use case best.

This way I got rid of being dependent to OS/bluetooth stack changes.
